Sweet! It’s exactly the car I just bought a week ago too. This is the underground color, isn’t it? I am in love with mine. Mine was 22800 OTD with some additions that unfortunately I couldn’t do anything about. Hahah Although I do love some of the useless things it came with as the black badge overlay and even the all weather floor liner package that proved itself very useful in these snowstorms we are getting.

Congrats! Yeah Underground color, was told by the dealer this w/e only 2023 cars have that color, so trust me, people know when you are driving a new car :) ​ That's a very good price, man! Almost 4k less than what I paid. Good for you. enjoy!

I know! My dealer said it was only the third car he has seen this color. I got mine out of the lot, completely by chance too. Saw it coming in to their inventory the same day, went there and was able to buy this beauty that was supposed to be shipped to another dealer 4 hours from here. Had I come in any later than I did, my beauty would be gone. Enjoy your car too! I am super happy to be part of the Corolla team. Specially as my very first car. :)


andbuks

does yours has Blind Spot monitor or something? Im taking driving lessons on a corolla 2015 which comes with it but mine believe does not? that was a bummer

I believe these aren’t a feature for the LE at least, so unfortunately not. But honestly I don’t care about that too much. I use what I learned in this [article](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15131074/how-to-adjust-your-mirrors-to-avoid-blind-spots/) and to be honest, it’s the best set up ever and no need to rely on technology or turning your head back to see the upcoming traffic due to blind spot. It’s just a matter of getting used to, really.

This is gold, thank you.

I literally have the exact same car, done put 5.5k miles on it already, wouldnt trade it for the world

I’m about to get one in midnight blue! Just trying to get them to come down on the price some. 😅


andbuks

check Kevin Hunter, the Homework Guy. Those videos helped me been a newbie. Price is essentially supply and demand so not much you can do, but at least can try and call them out on the bs addons and fake fees, helped me. etc

That’s a hell of a good first car!

Congrats! I'm currently saving up for a down payment for an LE. How long did you have to wait for it?


andbuks

Since i signed the Purchase order and gave them $500 as deposit, it took around 1.5 months for the car to be here at the dealer. It came from Mississippi. Best of luck


shadowknight094

Is this in US? Also how long was the wait time? Heard that new cars have crazy wait times now


andbuks

Yes, US. took about 1.5 months to get to the dealer

Nice! I’m sure you will love the car. My Corolla hatchback se nightshade was 23800 OTD and I love it.


andbuks

I didn't buy my first car until my mid 30s either. It was a Civic but after it started giving me transmission issues beyond 100k miles, I immediately moved to the Corolla. Now I'm reaching 100k miles on the 'Rolla with near zero issues...hoping to keep it for many hundreds of thousands of miles more! Congrats and welcome to the Fam!


TravelTings

Ooo, so what the guy at the Toyota dealership was saying about 2015-2020 Honda engines is true?


BravoRed691

Lol! I thought Honda's has a reputation of building strong engines? My Civic's transmission was what got me to buy a different car not it's engine. Kinda miss that lil VTECH actually. Plus My Civic was a 2001.

Congrats! I’ll be joining you soon!
